About Oak Foundation:
Oak Foundation commits its resources to address issues of global, social, and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged. Through our grant-making, we support others to make the world a safer, fairer, and more sustainable place to live. With offices in Europe, India, and North America, we make grants to organisations in approximately 40 countries worldwide.
About the Housing and Homelessness Programme
Oak Foundation’s Housing and Homelessness Programme is a grant-making programme that supports organisations to end homelessness and create housing opportunities. The programme funds projects across the UK and US. In additional to national projects, it also funds within the geographic locations prioritised in its current strategy. These locations are London, Bristol, the West Midlands, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.
With an annual budget of over USD 30 million, the programme makes 37 new multi-year grants annually; in addition, the programme maintains strong connections with existing grantee partners, sharing learning and opportunities. The programme has three strategic priorities: renter rights, supply and access to genuinely affordable and decent homes, and reduction and prevention of homelessness. The programme has a deep commitment to supporting social justice, racial equity, and the voices of people with lived experience. We fund organisations that: demonstrate a strong understanding of the experiences of people facing homelessness; and have evidence that their work is rooted in solutions that people closest to the problem have identified.
We know that homelessness and housing problems disproportionately and unfairly affect sections of our community, and so we seek to support projects that address this. This includes: women; people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities; people with disabilities; and LGBTQI communities.
